In what ways could a geologist's understanding of the Earth's layers
assist in their investigation of earthquakes?
By analyzing seismic waves and determining the
a characteristics of various rock and soil layers
,
which helps assess earthquake hazards
.
Geologists analyze how seismic waves travel
b through rock material to determine what rare
minerals are present.
d
Geologists can manipulate seismic activity and
prevent or minimize the strength of earthquakes.
By studying the Earth's layers, geologists can
predict the magnitude of an earthquake.
